Technical Abstract

A musical garment has a plurality of interior pockets disposed on two interior portions of the garment for generating extemporaneous music by hand-impact with a selective pocket portion. Each interior pocket is secured via hook and loop fasteners and includes a sound generating piezoelectric transducer electrically connected thereto for producing multiple signals to a sound generating module. The piezoelectric transducers are sensitized or calibrated to produce a sound having a different sound characteristic compared with other piezoelectric transducers. The sound generating module is removably housed within an interior auxiliary pocket of the garment and utilizes a multiplexer to provide serial output or music for subsequent recording or listening. An acoustic screen is disposed on an exterior surface portion of the garment pocket for acoustically transmitting sound generated from the module. A set of auxiliary piezoelectric transducers are also used for attachment to a user's feet for foot generated sound.
